I also helped guide a successful conversion to LE and then COBOL for MVS and VM. I made heavy use of the SMF tapes and got the systems group to increase the number of generations and got an "Oh, OK" to my response to their asking why I was using the SMF tape so much. It was also interesting that another consultancy firm on the Y2K project with me supplied both some people for whom I had the highest respect and at least one who I wondered how much he knew. > > -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
